GRETNA, LA – September 26, 2025 – HOTWORX Gretna is entering a powerful new chapter
under the ownership of Alynda Mallard and Keamber Rillieux, a dynamic mother – daughter
team passionate about health, wellness, and community. The duo officially took over operations
of the Gretna studio on August 1, 2025, becoming the newest franchisees within the
HOTWORX family.


To mark the occasion, HOTWORX Gretna will host a Grand Re-Opening Celebration and
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Saturday, October 11, 2025, welcoming members, neighbors, and

The pair brings a complementary blend of expertise to the business: Mallard, an HR
professional with deep knowledge of systems and procedures; and Rillieux, a creative,
marketing, and entrepreneurial leader with a proven track record in building brands and
experiences. Together, they form the perfect duo to lead HOTWORX Gretna into its next era of
growth with new owners, new energy, and a renewed commitment to member experience.
